''As to what the report of the board

Il cannot, of course, tell; but believe
the commissioners thoroughly conscien-
tiOus and able men, who will sift
the chaff from the wheat in
the testimony and make fair, honest
report, and l pledge myself in advance
to cheerfully accept the verdict. In re-

the stump advocate honesty and reform
in the public service, and then to see
the whole outfit tumble over each other
in their haste of anxiety to cover up
rascality, and find fault with one who is

rapidly nearing completion, doing much
to help out the city by drawing outside
